Looks cheapI wish I had read the review from NM before I purchased this item....because I have the exact same feedback. After having it installed, I'm planning on returning this item too. The blades look like cheap plastic....frustrating when this fan was anything but cheap.

Nice but not what we wantedWe returned this item as we did not like the looks of the all plastic blades. We ordered another fan from you with what we thought was better looking blades (not as cheap looking).
There was nothing wrong with the fan other than we could not see what the blades looked like on the web. Once we received it, we decided that it was not the look we were going for.
